Nice to have another scratch contest this year, thanks _ the _ for hosting it again!

This guarantees a lot of fun again. :slight_smile:

Yahoo! Now I need to firm up an idea… hand made category. I’ll PM when I start a build thread.

I see 2 entrances already (CRX did not say so litterally but I can not imagine him not entering :stuck_out_tongue: ).

Ok, I enter too, in the hand-made category, but as a warning, out of the two of my previous attempts, one was never finished and one too late, somewhere late in autumn.

i want to join the hand made contest

Wow nice the!
Good luck to all building!
No time or skills to build, would be happy to assist in judging the cool builds though :slight_smile:

Thanks the for again doing this. :+1:
I will be building a light and yes here come the excuses. I have a bit on coming up which I’m not sure how much time I will have.

This thread is Jack-Approved!

Jack missed out on getting his picture in the OP.

Nice!!! Unbelievable that another year has gone by. My personal thanks goes out to _the_ for helping to organize this. I will be eagerly awaiting the results. Greetings to everyone, and early best wishes to all the contest participants. :+1:

Bump.

I will try to join the machine made contest. Will see how much time I have and what I come up with, never built a light from scratch before.

Thanks sb. You have just brightened my morning. :slight_smile:

Looking forward to see awesome builds this year! :+1:
